Are you a breeder? Have you even met a responsible breeder? I am guessing not.

Responsible breeders do NOT breed for money..they are breeding for the betterment of their chosen breed. Infact most breeders do not make a dime off of their breedings, they are lucky to break even. It takes a lot of hard work and money to breed!

Responsible breeders are not the reason there are so many animals in rescues nation wide...backyard breeders sure are though! A responsible breeders dogs never end up in a shelter...why? Because most have a written contract that says that if for whatever reason the dog can not be kept they MUST be returned to them.

the fact is, we need breeders. Why? Simply put, to preserve and improve breeds.

It is ignorent to say that every breeder is out for money, or doesn't care about rescue dogs. Infact, most responsible breeders support rescue and try to help them out any way they can.

please educate yourself before making such bold and inaccurate statements:
